Discord

Discord or dissension is lack of agreement among persons, groups, or things, and the tension or strife resulting from such a lack of agreement. It may also refer to a confused or harsh sound or mingling of sounds. In music, an inharmonious combination of simultaneously sounded tones; a dissonance.

Alas! how light a cause may moveDissension between hearts that love!Hearts that the world in vain had tried,And sorrow but more closely tied;That stood the storm when waves were rough,Yet in a sunny hour fall off.

Discord, a sleepless hag who never dies,With Snipe-like nose, and Ferret-glowing eyes,Lean sallow cheeks, long chin with beard supplied,Poor crackling joints, and wither'd parchment hide,As if old Drums, worn out with martial din,Had clubb'd their yellow Heads to form her Skin.
